dupree dance nationals 2026 💌

I want to start this off by saying I am so fueled by the immense amount of joy, gratitude, inspiration, and kindness this nationals left me with.
My hope is that I made half the impression on the wonderfully created people that I got to working with, take class with, and learn from.

Thank you to @alex.ware20 for such an incredible opening number experience. You created such a safe and engaging environment. I said it before and i’ll say it again, I’m so happy that I got to be a small part in your journey! I want you to know I had so much fun bringing your vision to life. Another huge thank you goes out to @keiragestel @averyclapp_ @skylar__peterson for being another huge reason why this experience was so smooth and fun! Thank you guys for being such great mentors, and people to look up to🫶🏻

And to my friends I made along the way of my opening number experience, I adore you all! I’m so happy our paths crossed when they did. Miss y’all!

My next thank you goes out to ALL of the faculty! You guys are the main reason my week was so amazing. Each of you made an impact on me and I feel so excited about continuing to grow! Thank you guys for your wisdom, grace, and energy. The amount of love poured into this organization really really shows.
